    I was reading about the lead singer, he's a really big sweetheart. He grew up poor and lived in a black neighborhood being the white kid. He saw what it was like to be poor and the struggles everyone had. So it influenced his personality and views hugely. ♡ His brother died from a heroin overdose, and his girlfriend committed suicide the same year. Poor guy is now a political activist and has campaigned for drug awareness policies. For someone who was both poor and a now sober opiate addict, I'm very thankful for people like him.

    This song always makes me cry. I remember being 4 years old, in a uhaul with my mom and brother, driving to our new home that my mom bought after my father died. She had won a malpractice lawsuit against the doctor that had poisoned him. His death had literally bought us a new home in the suburbs. I remember driving down the road and my mom and bro singing this song and they were crying.... I didn't understand the tears. 22 years later, I do. RIP dad, thank you for our new life.

    I walked to work and the grocery store for the past three years. I weighed my vegetables at the store. I portioned my dog's food. Now, I just bought me an Audi a4, moving to south florida, going to buy my family what they need, and it feels real good.

    "I hate those people who love to tell you 'money is the root of all that kills.' They have never been poor. They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas." Are some of my favorite lines in all of rock music. As a kid who grew up in Appalachia and was raised by a single parent, it hits way too close to home.

    Hits different when you’ve lived in a homeless shelter. I saw and lived sad things. Saw addicts and sadness. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Life will beat you to your knees and keep you there in permanently if you let it. It’s all about the absolute ability to show up. I hope you all show up. Love to all.
    I didn’t make this post to make it about religion. It’s cool that all the comments are mainly about religion. All I was trying to say was, I was sitting there one morning and it was “ah man this sucks I need to do better” so I did lol. God or Jesus didn’t help me. I helped me. It wasn’t like I heard the voice of the lord. It was “I don’t want to feel like this anymore” so I did something about it lol.

      Sure is. Like you, I didn't much care for these songs when they came out in the 90s. (I was born in '68, raised on the glorious rock n roll bands of the 70s and the wonderfully eclectic music of the 80s.) But I realize now the 90s were an excellent decade for music, the last of the great ones. I would go back in a heartbeat.

He’s been in and out of the hospital the past year. What’s hard. I never believed in soulmates until I met him and I’m worried.

    They have never been poor. They have never felt the joy of a Welfare Christmas. Brings back a lot of memories of life after my dad left mom back in 1970. Obviously, the singer is scarred by a really impoverished childhood. That line resonates with me. It creates a "survival drive" that affects every facet of your life in good ways and in bad ways.

      Art Alexakis, the lead singer, had a bad childhood. When he was 12, his brother committed suicide, when he was 13 his GF at the time committed suicide. When art was 14, he himself tried committing suicide. When art was a small child, his father left his mom leaving them poor. Sounds pretty awful to me.

Then you meet the one, the one who has struggled like you have,the one who has hurt like you have, the one you have no expectations of, and he does all these things for you and more..because he loves you completely.

      It's "really a lie" not alive. The whole point of the song is that he's making empty promises, that's why it's ironic that he's incredulous that his roommate thinks he's a lie

    • @stephenvelez9710
      @stephenvelez9710 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      i've listened to this song a hundred bazillion times...as far as i'm concerned, it has to be "really alive." if it's not--tho, i think it is--i still can't change it in my head and heart. "can you believe he actually thinks i am really a lie" doesn't make much sense to me. but that's the beauty of music and all art: sometimes we make our own meaning. to me this song isn't about empty promises, it's about desperation and heartbreak, and the feeling that one will do anything to get the love of your life back. i think when alexakis promise "a new house" he's being figurative: "i'll do anything for you, just please come back."

Thanks men for showing to Pittsbugh at Jergels. This is the best song of the 90s for this rythm, Weezer's Beverly Hills had the beats, but not the lyrics and the feels. Green day didn't swipe it right... This is the PERFECT version. Screw money, but lets work so we can use it to help others! AMEN! Love is eternal.

    Literally Denise Richards most beautiful role as an actress-- she seemed to pull something genuine and pure forward in her acting for this scenario. And yes, this song is one a lot of young women dreamed they would hear in one form or another from a loved one. An acknowledgement that we stood by you during the bad times, will you take us with you for the good times or "trade up?" So many beautifully, sad, profound, (and maybe a little toxic) memories connected to this song and video.

He tries to hide the things that make me worry, which makes me more worry when I find out. But I know he's doing his best to make us happy and I tend to forget how I to appreciate the little things he does for me and the hardest things he does that I don't know about. He's not perfect but I know he'll do anything for us.

    When I heard this when I was young I just felt it was a cute song of reconnecting with your ex. However listening this as a husband in a family that's barely staying a float, this songs just hits me too hard because it's pretty much the promise that we all have so our family can live a better live.

      I was here in 1998 when this was a new song playing on the radio in my mom's car which was indeed perfect, shiny and new.

    this is life...worth dying for.
    Living, crying, love one man.
    Baby's got blues skies... i♡a☆!

    Song makes me cry because in the 90s, I mostly remember my mom staying up late and crying into her hands - Dad wasn't interested in being with her, even though he fathered 3 kids. I kind of always felt responsible for the heartache (just my kid mentality). Now, I'm repeating the same cycle with my own kids (song hits harder then ever). #2021
